The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Dear students,
Happy December! As we quickly approach 2023, this is a reminder to start
off the year right by planning to join your fellow blind students on
Capitol Hill this January.
After three unprecedented years, the National Federation of the Blind is
returning to the in-person arena for our annual Washington Seminar, taking
place from January 30 to February 2, 2023.
This week is an incredible opportunity to learn about and advocate for
legislative initiatives that will improve the lives of blind Americans
nationwide, while also developing your presentation skills and growing your
personal and professional networks.
We want to see as many students join us in the nation’s capitol as possible
for this long awaited reunion, and as such, we are thrilled to be again
offering our Washington Seminar Funding Program, which provides partial
scholarships to blind students wanting to participate in the full
experience of Washington Seminar.
The application is already live and closes on Thursday, December 15 at
11:59 PM ET. You can access the application at the below link:
https://forms.gle/e5ScpdXngTHJyRVcA
If you have any questions, please direct them to NABS President Trisha
Kulkarni at nabs.president at gmail.com.
We are very excited to gather soon and hope you will consider joining us.
With love,
Trisha

I am writing to ask everyone to keep Scott LaBarre in your prayers. Scott is the NFB’s general council and the past president of the Colorado affiliate. He has been hospitalized for two months with cancer, and they are not finding a treatment to stop its march through his body. I understand that his kidneys are failing, and his heart is under attack. I was urged to call him, but he is not answering his cell phone. His kids are in college and high school, so the family needs prayer support as well. I am praying that God’s healing love will surround Scott and fill him with peace and rest.

Hello Casey,
Thanks for reaching out with the question! Unfortunately, due to several
logistical concerns, NABS will not be able to help students find roommates.
However, there may be members from your affiliate attending with whom you
could room with. Additionally, there will be many students attending, and
while NABS is not officially helping students find roommates, you could
always reach out to fellow students to ask if they need a roommate or know
of anyone looking for one. Hopefully this answers your question. Reach out
if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Logan Stenzel

Hello everybody,
I am looking for a couple of roommates for Washington Seminar. I will sleep
on the floor in order to cut costs. I can’t miss Washington Seminar. Also
does anyone know if the NFB Muslim affiliate will be giving free food.
Someone told me that they did during the NFB National Convention. I don’t
plan on eating at Washington Seminar in order to cut costs.
please nobody email me to tell me that not eating is dangerous. I have been
doing this since I was a kid.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Subject [Nfbnet-members-list] The Passing of Scott Labarre
Dear Federation Family,
It has been a difficult year of loss for the circle of friendship we
share in our movement. I regret to share that that loss is being felt
exponentially this evening as we have learned that Scott Labarre has
passed away surrounded by his family. The outpouring of love from the
Federation family was deeply felt by Scott but his challenging medical
condition could not be overcome. More details about services for this
extraordinary individual and information about how we can support his
wife Anahit and children Alex and Carter will be coming soon.
If you are like me, you are feeling a devastating sense of loss combined
with an overwhelming gratitude for what this man did for the blind of
this century. From arguing in the courts on behalf of blind people who
were discriminated against, to securing an international agreement
permitting the sharing of accessible books, to the close personal
mentorship he freely gave to hundreds of individuals, his impact will
continue to ripple across the world.
Please continue to send your prayers and positive thoughts to the
Labarre family.
With love,

Hi Nick, it’s Elizabeth. I am calling because there is some weird layout of NVDA and Outlook that changed this previous week and I want to figure out how to get it back the way it was it is very annoying hearing message list message list over and over again before it says what it’s reading and so I want to get back to the point where it says what is the what’s in the inbox and then I don’t have to select every single thing before I click to open the message that is extremely annoying. I don’t know if I accidentally did something about that but I don’t know if you have experienced the same thing

Good morning,
When I worked the program in the summer of 2020, there was a short break in
the middle of the summer, and staff members slept in the same building but
different apartments from students.
If you have specific questions about how the program will be run this
summer, I encourage you to reach out to the individual listed as the point
of contact in the original message.
Hope this helps,
Elizabeth.

Dear Elizabeth,
Experiencing the same issue and I empathize with your annoyance. Using
object navigation , routing the mouse pointer to navigator object, and
then emulating the left mouse click seems to be a partial work-around.
Using the next and previous item buttons with the reading pane enabled
is also an option. I also encourage trying the Outlook app. I will
troubleshoot more later to see if there is a fuller fix - let me know
if you discover one.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for understanding. Is there a way I can scroll through my inbox with arrows like I used to? It’s really annoying to hear message list check box not check, message list today, message list recieved three days ago, and so on. I also can’t find the new message button or press the letter N to open a new message. In the mean time, I’ll download the app on my computer.
Thanks
Elizabeth

Message-ID:
Hey all!
Are you looking for something fun/inexpensive to do with your family this
Saturday, Dec 17th?
Well look no further. In the spirit of the holidays, the Florida
Association of Blind Students will be hosting a movie night. We will be
viewing the audio described movie Falling For Christmas at 8pm est!
We will be streaming off of NETFLIX, so bring your eggnog, hot coco, pop
corn, and your loved one's and join us!
Here's a synopsis of the movie for your convenience:
After losing her memory in a skiing accident, a spoiled heiress lands in
the cozy care of a down-on-his-luck widower and his daughter at
Christmastime. Themes are romantic/family.
*We hope to see you there!*--

Good morning, NABS!
(In a Robin Williams voice)
The Legislative and Self Advocacy Committee will be having our next meeting this Sunday, December 18, at 7 PM Eastern. We'd love to have you.
We will be discussing holiday family gatherings, and the goal is for people to come with experiences so that we can talk about how to best advocate for yourself in those types of situations. So, between now and then, please think about scenarios that have happened to you, how you handled them, what went well, and what you might do differently next time.
Not too long ago, our NABS NOW Podcast covered this topic. If you're interested in getting your juices flowing on this topic, check out Season 1 Episode 12:

Greetings from the board of the Virginia Association of blind students!
We hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season. To our fellow
students, we hope that you have enjoyed a break from school and have gotten
time to rest and recharge before the new year begins.
We are ecstatic to kick off 2023 with our annual Richmond Seminar event!
On Monday January 16 (Martin Luther King day) and January 17, we will come
together as blind and visually impaired individuals to talk with one
another, learn from each other, and advocate for state legislation that
will improve our lives for the better. In the afternoon on Monday, January
16, we will have our annual winter board meeting and discuss the pieces of
legislation we will be talking to our legislatures about the following
morning. That evening, starting at 7 PM, there will be an exciting social
event for students. Here you will be able to connect with old friends and
make new ones as well as learn about your student division and play lots of
fun games. On Tuesday morning, we will divide into groups and head to the
state capital to have meetings with our legislators, asking them to support
legislation that will improve the lives of blind and visually impaired
Virginians. All costs can be reimbursed by the Virginia affiliate as long
as a student agrees to have a roommate and utilize transportation provided
by a local NFBV chapter; to find out who is your local chapter president,
please go to nfbv.org
If you plan to attend, please email this chapter president and Bonnie
Oday, Who is copied on this email, saying that you would like to
attendRichmond Seminar. The deadline to register for Richmond seminar is
Tuesday, January 3 and the deadline to book your hotel room is Thursday,
January 5.
Students, we need you! Your voices are crucial in helping our legislatures
understand what needs to change in Virginia education to aid us in being
successful students and future employees. This event will allow you to
build in your public speaking abilities as well as self advocacy skills.
you can learn more about richmond seminar and find the info for booking
your room here: https://nfbv.org/node/135
We hope that you will consider joining us on January 16 and 17th in
Richmond for this exciting opportunity. If you have any questions, don’t
hesitate to reach out to us or Bonnie Oday.
We look forward to seeing you in the new year!
Best wishes,
Virginia Association of blind students
